Pete, I've heard O'Hagan's name come up a number of times (aside from your blog), and got the impression that he was a very skilled woodworker. I recall a story, perhaps apocryphal, about him riding his bike half way across the country to attend some woodworking event (perhaps Langsner's?). In any case, I'll be very interested in learning more. Looking forward to the book.
He did ride his bicycle from eastern Pennsylvania to Drew's place in western North Carolina. Came up short the night before class started, reaching the Virginia/NC line. Drew went & picked him up, they arrived in time for breakfast and started the class right after, only an hour late. Or so I'm told by Drew & by Daniel's notes...I wasn't there. Met him a few years later.
